I won a 5'er from Cbid, and put these in the humi and forgot about them till I decided to leave one of each and put 4 in the cooler. I was looking for a light stick for after a light dinner. I grabbed it, along with a Mt. Dew and the newest Maxim mag. I went to the garage(my usual spot) and used the punch for this one. It was a 5 1/2 X 50 Robusto. It had a sexy tan wrapper and a good feel to it. I toasted, and lit. The draw was amazing, probably one of the best drawing sticks I have smoked. It billowed smoke every toke. The first 3-4 puffs were leading me to think this was a "nasty" smoke. Well I was wrong indeed. It mellowed out into a nice creamy, nutty, slight leathery taste, with almost a "buttery" flavor. I continued reading my Maxim, drooling over Fergie's pics, and got to the 1/2 mark and the taste was still nice and mellow. It kind of reminded me of a HDM Excalibur 1066 camroon. The smoke never got hot. I got to about 1 1/2 inches left and layed her down to sleep. It would be a great early morning smoke or if you want something light.

I can see a box of these in my future!!!

I agree, these are one of my favorite smokes. I taste hints of creamy cherry (?) sweetness.

I agree with your review. Definitely one of my fav. cigars in my rotation. Recently purchased a box of churchills actually.

Smoking one as I type this, watching a dude fish on some lake from my casino hotel room. Would be smoking at the blackjack table, but since I lost 2 bill there last night, I think I need some time away.
